It frequently happens that upon that part of his declaration which contains the substance or gist of the ,
action ,
he only recovers nominal damages ,
and he gets his principal satisfaction on account of matter altogether collateral thereto .
A familiar instance of this is the case where a father sues the defendant for a trespass for the seduction of his daughter .
The gist of the action is the trespass ,
and the loss of his daughter '
s services ,
but the collateral cause is the injury done to his feelings ,
for which the principal damages are given .
In stating the substance or gist of the action ,
every thing must be averred which is necessary to be proved at the trial .
